Due to the poor tribological properties of titanium (Ti) and its alloy Ti6Al4V (commonly used
for ventricular assist devices manufacturing), diamond‐like carbon (DLC) films with excellent …

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited on the articulating surface of medical-grade
Ti and Ti–6Al–4V were characterized. The DLC films were synthesized by rf plasma assisted …

Three kinds of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, which contain different metals (Ti, Cr, Zr)
and different interface designs, were deposited on biomedical titanium alloy (Ti–6Al–4V …

Ti6Al4V artificial implants are increasingly demanded for addressing human dysfunction
caused by an aging population and major diseases. However, they are restricted due to the …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with different Ti doping contents from micro amount to a
relatively macro level on a 304 stainless steel substrate were prepared by ion beam assisted …

This study used an un-balanced magnetron sputtering system to deposit different thickness
of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film on Co–Cr–Mo and Ti–6A1–4V alloy substrate. Wear test …

This work presents a simple approach for the synthesis of multilayered titanium-diamond-
like carbon (multilayered Ti-DLC) films on a Si substrate by a filtered cathodic vacuum arc …

Bilayer diamondlike carbon (DLC) on titanium oxide (DLC/Ti-O) films have important
potential application for artificial heart valves, provided that the films are sufficiently hard and …

Carbon-based materials, for example pyrolytic carbon, have been successfully applied as
artificial clinical heart valve coatings but due to ease of availability, processing, increased …

Implantation of coronary artery stents after angioplasty has become a well-established
procedure in interventional cardiology since 1986. 1) NiTi alloys have great potential for …
